Winery | Bodega Norton has five vineyards spread over the main terroirs of the province of Mendoza in the foothills of the Andes Mountains, all within a privileged zone known as the First Zone for the quality of its grapes. Geographic location influences the quality of our wines, as does the age of our vines. Their average age is 30, but many hectares are planted with 80-year-old vines. Norton’s “Signature Winemaking” range represents the pinnacle of their production. All the wines under this umbrella are hand-crafted in limited quantities, using grapes from the oldest vineyards and the most unique sites on their estates. Each wine is designed to offer the maximum expression of the particular site from which it comes, highlighting the rich terroirs available to David Bonomi, Norton’s chief winemaker. |
